The obvious fear most people have is that one of these companies will be hacked themselves and all your passwords will be leaked. You obviously can’t memorize them, so you have to store them somewhere.

Password managers are a must these days with the number of companies being hacked always rising and the amount of personal information being leaked even greater.Ī password manager lets you create complex passwords that are different for each site. If you use another password manager like 1Pass, then make sure to install their extension. If you’re using something like KeePass, then don’t worry about this extension. If you don’t use any password manager yet, then make sure you try LastPass. Lastly, you can create an account and sync everything across all your devices. You can also customize the theme and heavily customize the layout. Speed Dial 2 does that by allowing you to organize all your pages and apps into groups. When I’m browsing the web, I just want quick access to my favorite sites. Now there are a lot of fancy extensions that also replace the new tab with dashboards, wallpapers, task lists, etc., but I’ve found the simple Speed Dial 2 to be perfect for my needs.

By default, it’s a boring list of some recently visited sites and that’s pretty much it. One of the first things I like to customize in Google Chrome is the new tab page. It’s also worth noting that some of the extensions I have listed are based on my heavy reliance on Google, so if you’re not in the Google ecosystem, just ignore those extensions.
